Abstract
Introduction:
- Mosquitoes represent a major threat to public health given their ability to transmit several pathogens. Some species of Aedes can
transmit viruses such as dengue, Zika, or chikungunya.
- Prevention of vector-borne diseases largely depends on effective and sustainable vector surveillance.
Objectives:
- Help to develop a novel bioacustic sensor that is able to identify the
mosquitoes' species in real time
- Deploy the sensor in the field in Madeira and Algarve.N/
